    Denafrips Ares II Dac

    Is the limit in total or per code?  Have already brought in quite a bit of whisky this year  :-X

    Denafrips Ares II Dac

    Borrowed one recently.  It really is brilliant value for money.  As the Pontus is on back order am tempted to just get the Ares.

    Bluesound Node 2i - Interesting observation

    The Node 2i DAC is very average (at best - I wasn't impressed with it before hearing it on my own system which just reinforced my view) - but makes a wonderful streamer when used with an external DAC.

    Denafrips Pontus II vs Pontus II vs Pontus II and a little bit about a RME

    Currently on back order with Vinshine.  After trying an Ares 2 in my system was going to get a Pontus.  Will have to wait it seems.

    Solar inverter & audio

    Agreed - sound for me is better on the inverter than on the grid.

    Disappearing songs on streaming services

    Have noticed with both Spotify and Tidal songs disappear, sometimes come back, are added with almost hypnotic regularity. None have left me with emotional scars.

    How good is Afrihost's support?

    Mixed feelings on this - never had anything other than good service from them on my fibre.  Had moved my phone to them a few years ago, lost their sim whilst on holiday (used a local sim for the cheap data), couldn't get a replacement because I couldn't receive and respond to an SMS they sent to...

    Spotify HIFI

    Finally.  Will be able to dump Tidal - the app is appalling (but the sound is better).

    Old bottle of First Watch whiskey

    Not only does Andy and team produce good whisky, the tour is the best (non-full day personalized) tour I have done at a whisky distillery anywhere in the world (stopped counting at 40 something).  As for the bottle of First Watch - nothing about it is collectable I am afraid.  On auction it...

    Where do you get your glasses frames from?

    Apologies - not been online much for a while.  From Nicole Levy Optometrists in Rosebank.  Think the lenses were R8.5k or so (photochromic multifocals).  Would recommend her, brilliant service.

    Where do you get your glasses frames from?

    The reason I stopped using them.  My new glasses (went for Seiko lenses) better visually and far more scratch resistant.  So I have given up the convenience of Torga.

    What equipment have you had and sold, and then regretted the sale

    None, if I like it it is still in the cupboard.  If I don't it is sold. What happens when I run out of cupboard space I have no idea.

    Do you get "used to" your sound

    Majority not in SA.  But even the standard Lexus systems are better than the upgrade ones on most other manufacturers.  They really do take sound seriously.

    Wristwatch,any love?

    The website tells me they are "exclusive to Seiko Boutiques".  Given current budget issues will have to give any visits a miss at the moment.  Or at least a visit and leave the credit card at home.

    Spotify vs Tidal - nonbeliever converted

    Agreed Tidal UI is at best terrible.

    2021 Jeep? Grand Cherokee L Ushers in Luxury Sound by McIntosh?

    I prefer to not fiddle with my audio in cars these days with everything integrated as it is.  Thus yes, am sure I could have improved the sound in my cars, but I no longer fiddle.  One of the reasons I am pretty much a Lexus for life person, starting with my first one 20 odd years ago, they...

    2021 Jeep? Grand Cherokee L Ushers in Luxury Sound by McIntosh?

    You have a point.  Will reserve judgement. Not that I am likely to buy a Jeep.

    2021 Jeep? Grand Cherokee L Ushers in Luxury Sound by McIntosh?

    Would like to hear it.  Think its too obtrusive though. I for one am a fan of the improvement in sound that has happened to car stereo.
